A deployable light for an electronic device, such as a cellular telephone, that attaches to the electronic device with a magnetic connector. The deployable light is adapted to deploy from a stowed position wherein the light may shine in a first direction, to a deployed position wherein the light may shine opposite the first direction. The deployable light may include a magnetic connection portion for attachment to a cellular telephone. The deployable light may provide light when the telephone is using either its forward facing camera or it rearward facing camera.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The deployable light with magnetic connector of claim 1 where said magnet is an annular magnet under an outer area of said flat mounting surface.
3. The deployable light with magnetic connector of claim 2 where said magnet is an annular magnet under an outer area of said flat mounting surface.
4. The deployable light with magnetic connector of claim 3 wherein said light is a circular light, and wherein said lighting element is adapted to pivot from a stowed position adjacent to said connection body to a second deployed position 180 degrees opposed to said first position.
5. The deployable light with magnetic connector of claim 4 wherein said lighting element is a circular annular light, and wherein said light resides around said connection body when in said stowed position.
6. The deployable light with magnetic connector of claim 1 further comprising a battery electrically coupled to said lighting element.
7. The deployable light with magnetic connector of claim 1 further comprising a battery electrically coupled to said lighting element.
8. The deployable light with magnetic connector of claim 5 further comprising a battery electrically coupled to said lighting element.
10. The deployable light of claim 9 wherein said connection body further comprises a magnet within said connection body.
11. The deployable light of claim 10 where said magnet is an annular magnet under an outer area of said flat mounting surface.
12. The deployable light of claim 9 wherein said light is a circular light, and wherein said light is adapted to pivot from a stowed configuration adjacent to said connection body to a deployed configuration 180 degrees opposed to said stowed configuration.
13. The deployable light of claim 10 wherein said light is a circular light, and wherein said light is adapted to pivot from a stowed configuration adjacent to said connection body to a deployed configuration 180 degrees opposed to said stowed configuration.
14. The deployable light of claim 11 wherein said light is a circular light, and wherein said light is adapted to pivot from a stowed configuration adjacent to said connection body to a deployed configuration 180 degrees opposed to said stowed configuration.
